説明
This unique illustrated screenplay features 800 still images from “A Clockwork Orange,” selected by Stanley Kubrick when the film was first released in 1971. As Kubrick comments in his introduction: “I have always wondered if there might be a more meaningful way to present a book about a film. To make, as it were, a complete graphic representation of the film, cut by cut, with the dialogue printed in the proper place in relation to the cuts, so that within the limits of still photos and words, an accurate (and I hope interesting) record of a film might be available… This book represents that attempt.”
Screenplay by Stanley Kubrick, based on the novel by Anthony Burgess.

Over the three days it took me to read the story I was continually rewarded with a headache from trying to decipher its God awful slang system, having to Google some of the least used terms when I was just absolutely stuck. It makes the story unapproachable and unnecessary obtuse in flow when you're continually having to either Google what it means or go back and reread for context clues only to find out that Alex was talking about a knife, teeth, money, books, girls, and whatever else comes to text. The theme of nature vs conditioned behavior is nothing special whatsoever. Alex's violent nature makes him irredeemable so to posit that he is willing to turn his life around because he wants to have a kid after he sees one of his former droogs in a Café is just lazy and ridiculous. I don't get it. The opening scene of Kubrick's adaption is great though so there's one positive thing I can say about the text.
